Ah Allen, after reading half of Vol 1b, I found something different with your summary:
Your sum:

Spoiler for spoiler:

1) Naomasa X Shirojiro = Shirojiro wins with the power of the money.
2) Suzu “X” Mitotsudaira = Mitotsudaira wins (political reasons involving knights and other things).
3) Toori X Masazumi = “Draw”.
It was a debate between them. The theme (proposed by Toori?) was if it was possible to rescue Horizon. Masazumi was on the side of proposing ideas of doing that and Toori was on the side of not letting this happen (he decided this). Masazumi showed some arguments that were a little risky in relation to the “Seiren” so the Pope President, Innocentius, appeared. So, started a “second round” of the debate between Masazumi and Innocentius. Masazumi “won” with this:

Musashi from now on will rescue Horizon Ariadust and recover all the “Mortal sins’ armament” to avoid the “Last Days”.

And for last:

4) Kimi X Futayo = Kimi won with the “ero” power

Spoiler for Actually::

1) Naomasa X Shirojiro = Shirojiro wins with the power of the money.
2) Suzu “X” Mitotsudaira = Mitotsudaira give up and agree to be the knight who protect Musashi's people and switch to Toori's side.
3) Toori X Masazumi:
They decided that who lose this debate will be the target for Makiko's sword training (holy cow). Toori take the first move and ask Masazumi that if it's possible for them to rescue Horizon. Masazumi answer all the questions from Student Council and Parliament (question from her father) about the rescue.

The Pope decide to interrupt the conversation and persuade Masazumi that he can give her a high position in Union, despite the fact that she underwent gender reassignment, and she can succeed the name (forgot the name). When Masazumi was confusing with Innocentius's proposing, Toori asked her about her gender, is she really a girl and demand to check that. Masazumi automatically covered her boobs but Toori stripped her pant, touched her xxx (omg), groped her tits and said :"Nice, flat-chest girl." (lol). He even ask her if she still can give birth.

Innocentius try to continue his persuading but Toori blast him off and tell Masazumi about the time when he first saw her, he thought that how could a man's butt is sexy enough to make his heart race. He said that everyone will support her and no need to worry about her flat chest (all the male students agree with him except Ohiroshiki).

Innocentius send Galileo to Musashi to fight the student, Futayo then appear and say if they want to go against the Union, then defeat her first to prove their strength. Masazumi suprise to see Futayo here (Toori took advantage of the situation to molest Masazumi) (good job Toori, you triggered Masazumi's flag)

Oh, I completely forgot about some details you wrote it. If you don't mind it I'll change this with your version in the summary.

Looks like all of the volumes of the Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel series have been translated, and I wonder which series would the translators pick up while New Testament Volume 3 is still not released.

I noticed in the character listings at the beginning of each novel that Miriam is the only one amongst the Musashi students without an image, even though she has had images of her in the novel. I was wondering if there was a particular reason for this?

It remember this particular image of her in her introduction where Allen mentions she says:

"I was thinking that it was Nobody, but I was wrong. No body is wrong too, then what is it?"

Spoiler for :

Is there any relation or reason?

I think the "Nobody" means what it means literally, since Azuma thought no one was inside the room prior to that chapter. "No body" refers to ghosts or spirits according to Oriotorai if you read 1-A chapter 2.

I was wondering why Miriam isn't included in that famous image. She's the only one missing there, I believe. Although she doesn't have an image that introduces her (like this illustration), Nenji, Itoken, Ginji and Hassan doesn't have one as well, but they are included in that big picture. Maybe because she's taking Distance Education rather than attending the lecture so she wasn't (officially) part of the class.

As to why, she had no image for her profile, I checked 4B and her profile still shows no picture. That's weird. Up to 4B, she must have at least one particular image that features herself because the image used for profiles are taken from the illustrations itself (not the ones during the start of the chapters).

Is the main cast's class the only ones with special people? Seems like all the super powered people in the school and the entire student council is within that one class. Are all the other students in the school just normal people? And is their teacher really 100,027 years old?

Are Gin's arms really mechanical or are they just something she wears over her real arms?

It's a pretty weird coincidence that all the super people are in a single class; maybe they were paired up that way because only Oriotorai can handle them ww

As for her age, I like to think it the "juuman" is 充満 ("full"), which is a homonym of 十万 ("100,000"). So Toori says she's a full/ripe 27 year-old teacher. Or something like that.

Gin's arms are prosthetic, so I guess they are fully mechanical.

The Russian says "Svet", rather than "Soviet", so I am assuming it's the former.

Also I have a quick question for novel readers re: Miriam: was she ever seen and her physical existence acknowledged by anyone other than Azuma? Or is Azuma the only one in actual physical/visual contact with her? I have a little theory boiling.

In the first volume, only Azuma and the ghost girl had physical contact with her, and we didn't have a confirmation of, if the Miriam Poqou (or however that was spelled) that Azuma acknowledges is the same as the Miram Poqou the class knows... Eh, but I guess I'm just thinking too much. xD

And damn it. She is a little "different" from 4A... Indirect spoiler... orz

Until 4A, the answer is still the same as what animeruri wrote. Just to complement her answer a little:

Spoiler for Vol2:

Everyone except Azuma knows about Miriam's existence and her personality (at least a little). It's not like someone confirmed this, but their reaction in a certain scene in the second volume makes me think like that.

As for her age, I like to think it the "juuman" is 充満 ("full"), which is a homonym of 十万 ("100,000"). So Toori says she's a full/ripe 27 year-old teacher. Or something like that.

Actually, it was written as 十万二十七歳 in the novel (check volume 1-B, page 129, the line in the very left). But I don't think 100,027 is her actual age (that must mean she has been living ever since the previous world when people are still residing in heaven. Even 長寿族s don't last that many years lol). It's obvious that Toori is just teasing her (Toori loves to piss Oriotorai off for some reason).

Spoiler for 4-A:

I thought it was Uesugi at first because of the white garb, but after checking the 4-A pinnups,
it turns out to be Date Masamune (where is ze eyepatch!? ヽ(｀Д´)ノ). Btw, do you know who that meganekko in 4-B illustration cover is?

Well, my theory was that:

Spoiler for loltheory:

Miriam is also some sort of a ghost/phenomenon who only Azuma can perceive visually; she never shows up to class, possibly because no one can perceive her, or because she is bound by some sort of limit.

On the other hand, aside from what you mentioned, Heidi did mention that she and Azuma were held in by guards or something, so perhaps that shoots down that possibility.

Since the shopkeeper is a former samurai, I think thatincidents of blade injuries are alsofull steam ahead in the scope of investigation, butI wonder whethera peaceful brandingwould be finefor 'Musashi'.

うわ、色だらけ美しくて・・・ごほん。

Right, ヨーソロー is a naval term for going straight forward.
検討視野 would seem to mean 'scope of investigation'. (I have no idea whatsoever.)

So, what I think the author means is: The blade wounds are a dead giveaway, but a peaceful branding is much less of a hassle for "Musashi". I have serious doubts about this interpretation though, since ヨーソロー being a naval term seems to incline towards the operation of the ship.

Another interpretation which was so funnily wrong that I thought I'd bring it up is that 検討視野 means 'horizon' as in 'scope of consideration'. (In other words, I'm clueless.)

I have no idea how to translate the difficult stuff in there to English, but if I have to translate it into simpler sentences...

"Recently, there is a customer grasping the hand of the shop's staff during handing of change, it's giving them trouble. Since the shopkeeper is a former samurai, blade injury case would be highly likely to happen but personally (for Musashi), a milder one like a flat iron (burning) or the likes would be preferable."
